Eternal Spring

rhodium phiz

a sharp breathing ripples
closely to a silent message of guess,
with lengths of magical chain
rattling to meet the sweat
healed between their skins

the attention of wrist slices downward
on an arched path of rib and hip,
holding in place a head bowed
by premonition and pause

unfolding links roll well
through the rhythm of their mist
breaking the illusions of
taught space in ankh union

They'll pry loose their
vernal serekh surfaces
to honor the core of
an unknown and once
sealed beauty in time

Nice science fiction overtone. Alien sex. Your structure, word choice, "silent message of guess" "unfolding links roll well" refreshing. Welcome.

Thank you for the positive welcome. Your interpretation of the piece as alien is not projection, I'm hoping... hehe

I'm missing something here

in fact, I'm afraid I'm missing the whole thing, which makes me feel ignorant and unable to appreciate modern work. maybe I'm too old. I like the sliced wrists, ribs and hip-- maybe eternal spring means death?
